Donnafugata Cantina Khamma, Pantelleria. Contrada Khamma fuori, 6, 91017 Pantelleria TP
Where the alberello is a Unesco Heritage Site, Kabir, Moscato di Pantelleria DOC is born, one of the good, indeed very good, fruits of the Zibibbo grape, or Moscato di Alessandria. It is proposed by Donnafugata, a Marsala-based company that declares itself "in love with the extreme nature of Pantelleria, a volcanic island between Sicily and Africa". The Rallo family landed here in 1989, launching an innovative project of quality and heroic viticulture. Kabir matures in vats for three months and then for a further three months in bottles before being marketed. Brilliant straw yellow in the glass, Kabir is characterised by a broad bouquet reminiscent of tropical fruit, with floral hints of orange blossom and delicate briny nuances. In the mouth echoes the fruity and sweet notes typical of the variety, perfectly balanced by the fresh mineral vein. Good persistence, with a delicately spicy finish. Perfect with anchovies, goat cheese, ice cream and fruit desserts. Try it with botargo and large smoked fish.
There are companies about which every good enthusiast thinks he knows everything. Simply because they have always represented the world of Italian wine. Among these, there is no doubt that a special place is occupied by Donnafugata. A winery that for many is synonymous with Sicily and quality wine. A historic brand owned by the Rallo family, Donnafugata produces wines in different areas of Sicily. From East to West, from Trapani to Etna, there is no wine-producing area in Sicily where Donnafugata does not have a vineyard. What few people know, however, is that the name Donnafugata is due to Gabriella Rallo, wife of the founder and mother of the two enterprising current managers of the company. Gabriella Anca Rallo, a courageous woman with a penchant for innovation, was a pioneer of quality viticulture in Sicily. She is the true 'donnafugata' (woman on the run) who abandoned her job as a teacher to take full-time care of the Contessa Entellina vineyards. One of the first women in Sicily to produce wine, in a sector typically dominated by men. A true pioneer of quality female viticulture. All that remains, therefore, is to say thank you to Gabriella. For being so courageous and for inspiring all this. Cheers!
